The 49th County of London Battalion, Home Guard, was responsible for the defence of the South Metropolitan Gas Company's (Metrogas) facilities at Bridgefoot, Vauxhall, under the command of Lt.-Col. F. J. Baywater, M.C. Its membership comprised Company employees. Below is a list of members of this Battalion so far known to staffshomeguard, mainly but not all, members of "D" Company. The main source of this information is the Minutes of the "D" Company's Entertainment and Social Fund meetings between 1942 and 1946. The rank stated for individuals is that held at the time of their mention. It may not be their final rank in all cases. For ease of reference, the code indicates the meeting which they attended (or where mention was made of them at the meeting):  these were the regular committee meetings (1-19) or A.G.M.s/Special Meetings (A-F). Where no code exists, the information comes from other sources.   NAME INITIAL RANK(s) MEETINGS ATTENDED/(mention)  Alborough Pte. (17)  Baker L/Cpl. B  Baker Pte. (12,13)  Barnett R.N.
